Refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic flowchart of a method for returning a public vehicle in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the car return method provided in this embodiment mainly includes the following steps:

S1: The control device on the vehicle obtains the current state information of the vehicle and sends the current state information to the server;

In this embodiment, a control device is provided on the vehicle, and the control device can receive the current state information of the vehicle by using a sensor device provided on the vehicle or directly using the sensor module provided in the control device to sense the current state information and use the settings A communication module in the control device or installed outside the control device, but electrically connected to the control device, sends the acquired current state information of the vehicle to the server. Preferably, the server may be a server of an operator that provides a vehicle rental service .

S2: When the current state information indicates that the vehicle is in abnormal parking, the server feeds back a blocking instruction to the control device;

In this embodiment, after the server receives the current state information, by analyzing the current state information, it can be learned that, for example, when the vehicle is stationary and the electronic lock on the vehicle is not closed, the vehicle is defined to be in an abnormal parking state Then, the server will feed back a blocking instruction to the control device on the vehicle.

S3: The control device sends a locking signal to the electronic lock on the vehicle according to the locked instruction, and the electronic lock locks the vehicle according to the locking signal;

After receiving the blocking instruction, the control device of the vehicle will control the electronic lock on the vehicle to execute the blocking event according to the content of the blocking instruction. After the vehicle is locked, a locking information is fed back to the server to inform the server that the vehicle has executed the locking event. Specifically, after receiving the in-position information, the control device parses the in-position information to obtain a notification that the vehicle is in place, thereby sending a locking message to the electronic lock. Preferably, the locking signal may be an electrical signal or a data signal And other signal forms. Preferably, when the blocking signal is an electric signal, the form may be that the control device controls a circuit where the electronic lock on the vehicle is turned on, so that the electronic lock is powered on and the electronic lock is blocked; or when the blocking signal is digital When the signal is received, it may be that after receiving the data signal, the electronic lock responds to the digital signal and the electronic lock is activated to perform the locking operation.

And in this embodiment, the control device sends the opening / closing information of the electronic lock monitored by it to the server of the vehicle rental company every first preset time, such as 5min, 10min, etc.

S12: When the temporary state information indicates an unlocked state, the server sends a state monitoring instruction to the control device;

After receiving the opening / closing information, the server analyzes the opening / closing information. When the opening / closing information indicates that the vehicle is in the unlocked state, the server generates and sends a state monitoring command to the control device on the vehicle.

S13: The control device obtains the current state information of the vehicle according to the trigger of the state monitoring instruction.

After the control device on the vehicle receives the state monitoring instruction, it will be triggered and respond to the instruction to obtain the current state information of the vehicle. Therefore, the method for returning a car in the present invention can be further applied, and the steps S1 to S3 described above can be executed to realize automatic lock and return of the car. Therefore, based on the above method of this embodiment, it is possible to implement a timely locking operation on a vehicle that is not locked in time by the user or a vehicle that is not locked in time due to a system error, and stop charging, thereby avoiding economic losses to the user.

In addition, in another preferred embodiment consistent with the above-mentioned embodiment, when the temporary status information monitored by the control device indicates an unlocked state, the server retrieves a return request from the current rental client of the vehicle in its storage space , When the vehicle return request exists in the server, the server sends the state monitoring instruction to the control device; and, when the vehicle return request does not exist in the server, the server sends the current The rental client sends a car return reminder.

Therefore, in another preferred embodiment consistent with the above embodiment, when the server receives a return instruction from the current rental user, the server sends a status monitoring instruction to the control device; when the server Receiving the renewal instruction fed back by the current rental client, the server sends a continuous state monitoring instruction to the control device; and, within a second time threshold, the server does not receive feedback information from the current rental client, The server sends a state monitoring instruction to the control device.

Embodiment 2: Application in vehicle rental system with / without parking rack

S21: The control device on the vehicle detects the temporary state information of the vehicle every second preset time;
